Snow news

Well let's just plow ahead.

All weekend Wendy and I were in the house. I went outside a couple of times to take out trash and try to clean off the cars. Wendy's car was in the sun, so most of the snow had melted. I was parked in a shade so I had to work to clean off my car. I noticed most of neighbors driving around. I have no idea the state of the roads. I hear people say the main roads are drivable. The main issue seems to be neighborhood roads. Fortunately we had nowhere to go. It is getting a little boring sitting around the house.

Both Wendy and I are off work today. When the sun comes up, hopefully the snow will start melting. I think we are supposed to be above freezing, at least during the day. It will probably take most of the week, but we should be back to normal. My town did say they would scrape neighborhood streets, but according to the trash collection schedule. I am not sure if they can get down our road due to the road destruction in our neighborhood.

Later this morning I will probably have to venture out to help shovel the walks at work. I hope by then the sun will be up and doing its thing. I plan on taking Wendy with me. At least we can get out of the house.

I do not like driving on snow and ice. I do not really have the know how. So I am hoping the roads will not be as bad as they look. I know crews have been out and trying to get everything back to normal. I feel bad for people who had to get out in this weather for work. I guess that is the price of being important.

I did shovel some snow on our steps. It came up as blocks of ice. It looked to be about 2 inches thick. This was two days after the snow. I guess when the temperatures stay below freezing the ice has nowhere to go.

It does look like we are in for some warmer temperatures, but also some rain. At least we can go back to playing nice instead of in ice.
